My opinion on the tests taken
In my opinion I agree with the first test because it says I'm methodical,social and innovative. In factI think I'm a bucado each of these things, so the test worked.
In the second test results agree with the kinaesthetic,interpersonal, and logical,because in some sense has to do with me.But I disagree with the out come Visual/Spatial because I never like dany thing that is related to the arts,I can not draw or paint, so I think that this result was not very successful.
In the third test I agree with my profession,because in my idea he liked to go to an area related to health,and this test has given me confirmation that I'm right.Despite these professions berelated to the sweaty,never thought to follow any of them.
In the fourth test agree with the out come,since it is also with in the area that I want to follow.
In conclusion,I liked to perform these tests,because in general confirmed that my idea was right.



You make me laugh! Repairs "think I'm a bucado" ahaha "a bucado?" We're an english persons now. Typical for someone like you make this funny mistakes.
Health area it's a good choice. You like it and these tests confirmated this so, it can be your future.

I don't imagine you as a food preparation worker! I think you would be a great chemical technician because I see that you like to work in the laboratory in chemistry classes.
As expected your top 5 career is related to the area where you are, so it means that you made the right decision. So I hope that you make the same decision for your future! :)

I agree with Rita CV, i also think you could do very well as a Chemical Technician, but I don't know why you didn't had a high scoore in the musical part of the second test, I realy think you are the best singer...
P.S: I was being sarcastic about the singing part.
